Doctors in Canada think they make too much and others make too little

[wyliec]

I have a question:
If I take the headache that this thread has given me to a Doctor in Canada: is he going to slap me on the back, and hand me a couple of aspirins?
Or will he do what they do down here?
Draw blood for lab tests...
Call in another Doctor...
Who calls in a Specialist!
Who then orders a PET scan, CAT scan, termite scan, and a financial scan!
After Six weeks of tests, and time off from work: they'll THEN give you a prescription for a pain-killer that your insurance won't pay for!

Sounds like he should slap you on the back of the head and then a boot in the a$$.

You are going to love Medicare when the time comes, and you have to go for blood work, and the Dr./nurse writes the wrong code, and you call Medicare with questions concerning the code used. They are the experts in talking in circles.

He will give you two aspirins, Bob, unless you tell him other threads give you headaches too! Then he will order all the scans etc. But it will not matter whether I am low income, middle income or high income, I should get the same care. But the higher the income the more paid on our taxes for this universal health care, it is definitely not free, but it is not as painful as if you are low income and cannot afford the care when you really need it.

I think he probably is a liberal. That's not what I was objecting to. I was objecting to the bigoted statement (and all the other similarly bigoted statements on this forum) that 'because he's a liberal, then ..... whatever'.

That is absurd. You can't make broad statements about a certain class of people (liberals, democrats, blacks, muslims, vegetarians) without expecting to be called out on it.

pete my bias is aimed at deblasio and his liberalism, if you have the time just google deblasio to see what he has done
and while you are at it google linda sarsour and what deblasio has done for her and her american hate campaign. don't
believe me just read with an open mind.

I KNOW that this one is false: we're actually all masochists!

As a group: we tend to marry while females!

I guess I need to weigh myself; I'm feeling kind of dense.

Dr. Getean Barrette is the minister of health it's a radiologist and the prime minister is a cardiologist... 2 doctors at the head of the province of Quebec... Dr. Getean Barrette before going in politics was the president of the union of doctor specialist... and he left with a bonus of 1 million $. The budget for the health care system cost more than 50% of the budget province.

My main concern that the 2 doctor has both hands in the candy bag... Does not look that they fix their salary for when they leave politics.
